Challenge 42: Clean messes/do homeowork

February 23, 2010

Well, this day completely took on a life of its own. It's been kind of a weird day from the beginning. Not for any real reason, just felt a little off. Might be because my office is a complete disaster (AGAIN!!!!!!!! UGH!!!!) and the kitchen is still out of sorts. I never made the time on Monday to get it sorted.

So the day started off on a slightly later side. 9am. I had a 10am coaching call and then a 11 am call (for an hour but turned into 75 minutes). While I was on that call, I got two important calls I couldn't pick up. But when I did, at 12:15, one of the messages was from my boss wanting to know if I could pick up Miles from school an hour early. Which made my whole day two hours earlier, since originally, I wasn't going to pick him up from school at all. Long story short, the two hours I had planned to use for getting my day together got completely cut out and I had to leave for work right after my call. While I was at work I get a text from Vaughn (who is in the city) saying that there was a break-in scare on our block, and he wasn't sure if anything happened to our house. On the way home I imagined myself walking into a house of missing things, and then I quickly shifted my perspective to be one that everything in our house is still intact. That it would be very difficult to break into this house, and even if someone did, they would find a huge, 100 pound, barking great dane. So that eased my mind. I'm happy to say, everything was still intact. EXCEPT, the puppy went crazy, tearing the house apart. He chewed threw my down comforter and there are feathers everywhere! Dragged granola all over the house, ate various things. He's lucky that it could have been much worse today.

So here I am, with a very messy house, and lots to get done. I have to do all my homework and reading for my pod call tomorrow (certification call) and get the house sorted. I have a glass of wine in my hand, and figure that some music is in order to get the cleaning part done. Here I go...
